bleed to death. My doctor told me with warfrin you do have a chance that they can reverse the affects with vitamin K
if there is time. I asked him about other medications they claim you don't need to take regular PT/INR tests for. He said
with them they can't reverse the drug it has to work out of your system. He advised me because I am active to stay on the warfarin.
I sold my cycle, I didn't want to take the gamble but that is up to you.
